To help the fight for literacy, men’s basketball has teamed up with United Way of the Plains, Coaching for Literacy and International Paper to help support local students.
The annual Coaching for Literacy game will be held on Feb. 8 against the University of Central Florida and will help to fundraise for childhood literacy.
The money raised will support 14 schools in USD259.— all of which are Title 1 schools, which means 80% or more of students are on reduced lunches.
“We are partnering with schools, where many of the young people in the schools identify as Black or Brown,” Abel Frederic, Vice President of Community Impact for United Way of the Plains said.
